  • Apps can now block sideloading more easily and force downloads through Google Play

    Jump

  • No, but you can download the APKs anyways. Which is most likely exactly why this is being implemented. I doubt many developers of free apps are going to turn this feature on.

  • What browser do yall use?

    Jump

  • When I‘m on an apple device (my phone or work mac) I use Safari. On any other device: Firefox. And if the website doesn’t work properly in either one of those, ungoogled chromium.

  • These repairable phones still aren't built to last

    Jump

  • There‘s also no functional difference between a cable with one plug and a cable with another plug, if you never swap the cable.

    I‘m not saying it’s the perfect solution but it beats having an extra adapter hanging on your cable.

  • They don’t though, if they don’t swap their headphones between devices with different connectors. A cable is not a dongle, unless you’re considering all wired headphones to need a dongle to plug into any device.

  • These repairable phones still aren't built to last

    Jump

  • I‘m not constantly switching those headphones between devices. I use them with my phone, when I want to actively listen to lossless music, so I got the cable that works for that. When I eventually upgrade to a phone with USB-C, I’ll get a cable for that.

    And most of the time, when I’m out n about I use cheap wireless earbuds anyways, because I don’t like fighting with cables when I‘m actively doing stuff and all I listen to with them are podcasts anyways.

    Yes, I would be happier with a headphone jack but I don’t have one, so what else can I do?

  • These repairable phones still aren't built to last

    Jump

  • As I already said, the cable is removable. If I want to use them with a usb-c device, I can exchange the cable for one with a usb-c plug and if I want to use them with a standard headphone jack, I can get one with that. It’s a bog standard pair of cans with removable cable. I can even get cables with in line microphones or short cables or extra long cables or with entirely different connectors. It’s just a 5€ cable. Also, when I bought the cable, the connector wasn’t yet obsolete. Lightning has been around for quite a while.

    And sure, it’s not as good as just having a headphone jack, but as I don’t have one on my phone, that’s the next best thing, if I want a wired connection.

  • Studie - Aufstieg der AfD lässt Abwanderungs-Gedanken aufkommen

    Jump

  • Dafür ist Elektrizität und Heizung sehr günstig

  • Don’t need a dongle life, necessarily. I have a decent pair of cans with removable cable, so I just got a cable that terminates in a lightning connector. And through magnetic wireless charging I can even charge while listening to music.

    Sure, that’s not optimal, not the solution for everyone and no reason for phone manufacturers to not include headphone jacks but it does work and without dongles at that.

  • The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending

    Jump

  • Ah, so you‘re one of those people that would be well at home at lemmygrad. And what fate are you talking about? Not getting sued?

  • The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending

    Jump

  • Where did I say that find it good that they got sued or lost their appeal? I just said that the reason why they lost the appeal is because according to the law they’re bound to, what they did was wrong. And maybe they should’ve left that to a platform that enjoys a little more immunity from said law, because there are plenty of those. It was stupid of them. They painted an unnecessary target on their back that doesn’t help their cause and I‘d prefer them not to have to shut down at some point because I’m all for the Internet archive archiving anything and everything. They should’ve stayed a legitimate library and everything would have been fine and would have served their cause sufficiently well.

  • The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending

    Jump

  • Which was nice of them, but that doesn’t mean they should’ve done that, especially in the eyes of the law. (Also, if you’re after free ebooks, why are you pirating them on archive.org instead of libgen?)

  • Introducing SUSE Typeface: SUSE’s new open sourced font

    Jump

  • The commenter I responded to originally seemed confused/surprised by it, though.

  • Ubisoft Stock Tanks to 10-Year Low After Lukewarm Star Wars Outlaws Launch

    Jump

  • I’ll definitely play Jedi Survivor (as soon as I get around to upgrading my graphics card to something that can actually play the game).

    I might try outlaws once it’s on clearance or so. But as someone who hated most of what Ubisoft did in the last few years (they ruined my beloved Assassin‘s Creed and made a mockery out of Watch_Dogs), I will stay sceptical.

  • Introducing SUSE Typeface: SUSE’s new open sourced font

    Jump

  • Here in Germany at least, if you read almost any printed novel, the type face will include this type of g. It’s so common, that I didn’t realise it’d be strange for some people.

    (Although I do recall seeing a post about a kid that was confused by that weird letter, somewhere a while ago. Probably was still back on r*****)

  • Ubisoft Stock Tanks to 10-Year Low After Lukewarm Star Wars Outlaws Launch

    Jump

  • And even EA made some decent games with the IP. I loved Jedi Fallen Order. Haven’t played Jedi survivor yet but from what I’ve gathered, it’s definitely not a total flop and even Battlefront 2-2 was decent enough.

  • Introducing SUSE Typeface: SUSE’s new open sourced font

    Jump

  • That’s fairly standard for serif fonts like times new roman, baskerville, etc. Although it is uncommon in modern sans serif fonts and/or fonts designed to be viewed on a screen.

  • Podcast: Müssen wir mehr Katzen an die Leine nehmen, um Vögel zu schützen?

    Jump

  • Die beste Lösung bei Katzen, meiner Meinung nach, ist, ihnen ein Glöckchen um den Hals zu binden. Löst das Problem nicht gänzlich aber reduziert die Mengen an geröteten Nagern und Vögeln, in meiner Erfahrung, doch deutlich, ohne die Katze einsperren zu müssen.

  • the Germ-ans

    Jump

  • It’s never too late to learn. Just don’t use the ich_iel community as study material or you’ll end up speaking a very strange kind of German.

  • Subscribing to YT premium is also an evil act

    Jump

  • The channels you‘re watching get a noticeable chunk out of your YT Premium subscription though. I‘ve heard multiple YT creators say, that they get a lot more money from a premium view than an ad supported one (and nothing when you use adblock). And I definitely watch too many different creators to support each and every one individually on patreon/nebula/floatplane/whatever.
